Two seasoned operatives finally meet their match: each other.
Cillian works for the mysterious Special Branch 20: an organization that runs black ops commissioned by the British government. His specialty is deep undercover assignments with virtually no support. He’s been alone for so long that he no longer knows anything else.
Mal’s also used to being alone. Wanted in several states and even more countries, he’s not allowed in the vicinity of any of his former Navy SEAL teammates. And his current assignment is to track Cillian in order to discover the spook’s endgame. Except he’s no longer sure which one of them is getting played.
Cillian isn’t about to let the mission that’s consumed him for the past several years crumble because an outsider is poking around where he doesn’t belong. But Mal forces his way through Cillian’s defenses—and into his heart—exposing a devastating betrayal that could destroy them both.
The Ending is a real kicker!
This is a book one in a series but feels like its deeper in. I admit I was a bit at a loss in the beginning but started following better as the story went on and more backstory is dropped. The characters are from the Hell and High water series and another of S E Jakes series. I do suggest you read them first so you know who Prophet and Tom are and the man that both Cillian and Mal are chasing.
The story is short so I am not going into depth because it would drop spoilers. All I can say is this is a great build up into a new series. I can't wait for the full-length story. There is lots of hot-steamy sex, sex clubs, murder and mayhem, some shocking revelations and twists galore in such a short story. My jaw aches from dropping so much!
Dorian Bane is one of my all-time favorite narrators and he made this book even more exciting with unique voices.

Thanks for the good review, Cat. I like books that start series to have more depth, and the build up in such a short story sounds good too. - Purple Reader,
